Perhaps by error, but the first is a syrphid fly (
Eumerus-like), the others are a species of soldierfly (Stratiomyidae)

The one on the video clip is what I suspect is the
Eurmerus (hoverfly, not BSF).

The second may be: Nigritomyia loewii from STRATIOMYIDAE (Soldier Flies),
Am i correct?

I doubt it, because that is an African species.

Does "black soldier fly" mean
Hermetia? Compare antennae.
